Music from a Small Island
NEW ALBUM! Simon’s first CD release since the New Celtic Mandolin in 1998 is a journey from Dorset via his native Yorkshire to Scotland. This is Simon’s first album not to include the word ‘mandolin’ in the title. While the mandolin family features strongly his fiddle and guitar playing come to the fore in a collection of Scottish folk tunes.

'...folk record of the year... evocative virtuosity and (from Hilary James) faultless singing'
The Daily Telegraph

'... stunning performances and arrangements. Mayor's artistry is breathtaking.'
Rock 'n' Reel

'This is the kind of recording that were it a piece of art it would happily hang alongside a Picasso.'

This album is also available as
an MP3 download.
